aswapdigital[.]live

Analysis of the domain aswapdigital.live confirms its classification as a crypto scam site actively impersonating the Across protocol, a decentralized bridging platform. Registered through an anonymous channel (CC-198-23-150-84-30) associated with ASN 36352 (HostPapa), the domain resolved to the US-based IP 198.23.150.86 prior to takedown. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Nginx with OpenResty, a configuration commonly observed in phishing deployments for its load-balancing and reverse-proxy capabilities. Nameservers dns1.codecrafthost.net and dns2.codecrafthost.net further link the domain to hosting infrastructure with a history of abuse. The site's page title, 'Aswap Digital Asset.

| Access a Wealth of Trading Opportunities,' explicitly targets cryptocurrency users, aligning with the 'Crypto Scam' classification noted in Scamadviser's assessment (trust score: 1/100). Gridinsoft's trust score of 0/100 corroborates this finding, while PhishDestroy has already implemented blocking measures. At the time of analysis, the domain was flagged by 8 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection coverage but sufficient confirmation of malicious intent. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), follows a pattern seen in short-lived phishing campaigns where automated certificate issuance is exploited to lend superficial legitimacy. As of July 24, 2026, the domain has been taken offline, though its prior resolution to HostPapa's infrastructure (AS36352) suggests a reliance on low-cost, high-turnover hosting providers.

Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed threat vector for brand impersonation, particularly targeting users of the Across protocol. Network-level blocking of the IP 198.23.150.86 and associated nameservers is recommended to mitigate residual risk.
